The strong increase was said to be due to increased PV module shipments driven by demand in the domestic market. TSEC recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the government of Pingtung County to develop up to 1GW of solar PV capacity in southern Taiwan and is building a new module assembly plant in the region.
Sales are only down around 13% from the previous year, compared to many rivals that had not recovered from weaker demand from China and fall ASP’s in the second-half of 2016.
